Happy Holidays!

Here's my Christmas present to all of you: a complete Christmas Lunch Box Menu with all the recipes: Golden Chestnut Soup, Best Brussels Sprouts, a clementine mandarin, and some Gingerbread Vegans with a tiny piping bag of icing and some sprinkles. Beverage: Silk Nog, of course!Verdict: I think Little shmoo sucked every last smidgen of icing out of that plastic bag. He ate all the Brussels sprouts, but only half of the soup. My husband really went all-out on this great photograph -- our dining room looks like a photo studio! 5 Ho Ho Hos!P.S. The kids are on vacation until next year, so see you in January!

NOOOOOOO!!!!! Weeks without the Vegan Lunch Box (you're known in my home as the Vegan Lunch Box Lady)??!!! But you must take pictures of Little Schmoo's lunches at home. What you will serve for Christmas dinner? A picture is in order. I absolutely love your site!

That's the thing I miss most about Germany! At the Christmas Market you can get a bag of roasted chestnuts and some hot apple cider to walk around with! Ah...the old country! Thanks for sharing these And Happy Holidays! Enjoy your break!

I've had silknog in year's passed and liked this year though - I didn't. Its sitting in my fridge. I don't think lil' scooby is going to go for helping me finish it off though especially knowing I don't even like it.

I agree that the simple pictures are better. You can see everything better. The fancy ones are prettier but you can't see the lunch contents as clearly which I think is more important. Just my opinion though.

Merry Christmas from our family to yours. Your little family has become part of ours during 2006 and we will look forward to hearing from all of you next year (perhaps with a once a week dinner menu?? hint, hint)

Fabulous holiday lunch, Jennifer!! I can't blame lil schmoo for not eating all of his soup this time--if I were him, I'd have gone for the Gingerbread Vegans and Silk Nog first! With his short lunch time, I don't know how he manages to eat as much as he does. I'm sending my best holiday wishes to you and everyone who frequents this site. I'll miss you and look forward to seeing you in 2006. P.S.--I'd love to hear any Christmas and New Year's food ideas you come up with!

Great lunch. Thanks for the xmas gift to us.. fabulous. I love silk nog and the ginger bread people with do-it-yourself frosting is perfect. How great! Thanks for this fab last post of 05 and see you next year.

I think it is so exciting and great how popular this blog has become! I have been a faithful lunch-boxer since almost the beginning and the increase in the little community that you have created is fabulous Jennifer, (and I guess it means that you can expect some success with your cookbook too!).I just wanted to wish you and your family a very happy Holiday season...I have a feeling it is probably a very warm, loving, and yummy-food-filled time in your house. Enjoy and we look forward to the return of the lunchboxes in 2006!!

I love this blog and all the great vegan meal ideas. Inspired by the Vegan Lunch Box, I have my own blog: outofmyveganmind.blogspot.com. Similarly, I show what I eat, but as a vegan who lives alone and works full time. Please drop on by!

I like your blog, happyvegandoc. As a retired livealone, I hope to pick up some tips there also. As to your note about the news about Bush authorizing spying on US citizens without getting search warrants, I read in the Washington Post that one group the FBI was keeping under surveillance, along with the anti-war folks, was a vegan organization. Well, one can only hope the FBI picked up some good recipes :-) Shades of J. Edgar Hoover and Nixon, I feel like I'm twenty again :-)

I love your site!! I here there will be a cookbook out soon? Do you know when you are expecting it to come out? I can't wait! Just a thought...include your awesome lunch ideas and pictures, they are very helpful for those with kids! I love and use your ideas all the time. Thanx!! =) =) =)

I LOVE your site! As a transitioning vegan I find it very inspiring. I work at a school as a child counsellor, and I love how invested you are in your child's health and well being. As someone who sees kids walking around with jumbo bags of chips and junk food every day, your site is very refreshing to me!

I've admired Vegan Lunchbox for a long time... (I'm in awe of your endlessly resourceful ideas!!) I've recently been inspired to start my own blog. It's full of vegetarian recipes and movie reviews, my two passions.
